Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 10 Aug 04 - 10:25 AM Ah, stone soup, a close relative of nail broth. Will the person who thought it had something to do with Dr. Who kindly get with the program and read some classic folktales? ----------- soak 1 pkg baby lima beans overnight. discard liquid chop and saute 1/2 medium-sized onion put the beans, onion, some ham hocks and two bay leaves in a slow cooker add water 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the beans slow cook indefinitely, checking occasionally to make sure there is enough water. when the beans are tender, remove the meat from the bones, making sure it is in bite-size pieces, and return it to the pot serve with French bread If you don't have a slow cooker, you can simmer it on the stove, keeping an eye on the water level. |
Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Helen Date: 12 Aug 04 - 03:16 AM Onion Soup From Anna Thomas "The Vegetarian Epicure" 1 & ½ pints of clear broth (this book has a recipe for making your own from potato peels, but beef broth seems to suit the flavour fo the onions) 4 large Spanish onions 5oz butter ¾ pint water 1 small piece bay leaf ¼ tspn thyme (optional) 1 to 2 tspn lemon juice 1 to 2 Tbs brandy salt & pepper (fresh ground) sliced French bread grated Gruyère cheese Cut onions into quarters and slice them. Sauté these slices in butter very gently until they are very tender and golden. Pour over them the broth & water, the herbs, lemon juice, & brandy. Season with salt & pepper and let simmer slowly another ½ to 1 hour. The liquid will reduce slightly. Just before serving, pour the hot soup into 1 large casserole or 6 individual ones. Top it with slices of French bread (one for each serving) and sprinkle over this an ample amount of grated Gruyère cheese. Bake soup in a hot oven for 15 minutes, then serve immediately. 6 servings |

Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Aug 04 - 01:37 AM I made pea soup in the crock pot today, and it was extraordinary. Peppercorns, peas, celery, carrots, an onion, a potato, and some ham. Cook it overnight, and then puree it with an electric mixer. I think most of the nutrients stay there, and I think it's one of the healthiest things I can eat. But hey, this thread reminds me of a song by John McCutcheon: Soup

Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: GUEST,pinko Date: 13 Aug 04 - 09:17 AM soop warning! I tried alice's majik muchroom soop which was real . After I went to the station but NO TRAINS! due to jarvis enjinearring and golden virginia on the line. Fear not said the verjin we have put the train on the bus. BRILLIANT. So off we went. Suddenly I notice the train on the bus is passing my house, Conductor I said, next stop please. Conductor, he says, look mate this is a train, we stop at stayshuns not bus stops dickhed. So we pass my house go miles to the stayshun and being a Verjin its mins late , so I miss my last bus home and have to fucking walk. So you see,this majik muchroom is V. BAD TRIP SOOP1 Also beware of toads-tool soop, it makes you fall off your motor bike. |

Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Helen Date: 13 Aug 04 - 05:41 PM Pinko, you should live in Oz. Almost the same situation, except that we would have had to drive for miles in a different direction to get to the station, and the young woman sitting next to me needed to get to the next township/suburb (about 5 miles away from the station for which she would have to catch another bus). So I suggested to her to ask the bus driver if he could drop her off as we went through the place she wanted to go. He yells out to everyone on the bus "Who wants to get off at Fassifern Station?" Everyone says no, so he just bypasses the turn-off to the station and stops in the town and drops her off. Easy-peasy, no fuss, no mess for anyone. In Oz, the majority of people can't see the sense in doing something silly which wastes everyone's time, when doing something sensible will work better. (Note, I said the "majority of people" because there are still the sticklers for doing the "right" thing regardless of common sense. ) alison, In the onion soup I think the two ingredients which make the most difference are the clear broth and the brandy. If you have good broth - either home made or what I use, which is sold in a packet at supermarkets - then the flavour of the soup is dramatically improved. Also the brandy is probably the secret ingredient. It changes the flavour but adds that comforting/warming sensation which changes it from soup to an experience. The bread and melted cheese contributes to the whole experience too. I think I took onion soup to the Winter's Revels that I mentioned before. In my previous house, where I used to hold a lot of regular music sessions, I had a fuel (wood burning) stove in the dining room and on a couple of occasions in winter I got the fire going, had the kettle constantly simmering for endless pots of tea, and also had some vege & meat soup simmering ready for the mealbreak, with lots of fresh bread & butter. It was close to my idea of heaven: a house full of people playing music, laughing & talking, lots of hot tea and home made soup in a nice warm room in winter. Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Helen Date: 13 Aug 04 - 08:11 PM Yes, I thought of that, but there were about 3 or 4 buses transporting us to Newcastle, so at least one of the others would have gone there, and most people catch buses to town from there and trains to Sydney, so usually you don't get people getting on there on the return journey from Sydney.
